Visa’s new card with buttons and screen
In an effort to thwart what is know as CNP or Card Not Present transactions, Visa has come up with a nifty new card that features input buttons and a display screen. All web transactions are performed in this manner, possibly allowing anyone who lifted your card from making purchases without your consent.

The code is generated by the user entering their pin in and the card creating the one time only code. The idea is only the owner of the card with card in hand can make purchases. While not foolproof, the card goes a long way from just “dumb” plastic cards of today.
